Giblet Plus! posted:I also attended a LAN party with my friends in place of senior prom. LAN parties are more fun than proms.  I was active in Cybernations for a few years before the game started getting a little old. I thought I was hot poo poo for having a high post count in the forums, even though the vast majority of those were in the "spam and games" section. I started a couple of small alliances, but they usually ended in dismal failure. My country wasn't even all that great. I'm especially ashamed when I go back and look at other forums I'd been a member of for a long time, and that 16-year old me was a smug, wannabe comedian whose "jokes" were out-of-context Monty Python quotes. Even in real life, I was kind of an rear end who thought he was funny. I alienated a couple of good friends that way. I was also obsessed with all things anime. I was paranoid about being outed as an uber-weeaboo, although in hindsight I think I made it pretty clear that I was. Back in high school, if you had a question about anime, I was the guy to talk to. I spent an entire art class explaining how awesome Evangelion was to people who weren't really interested in it. I made terrible t-shirts (with anime girls on them) by projecting a picture on the wall and drawing it with markers. I was probably THAT GUY more than once, but the "everyone knows everyone else" nature of my small-town high school kept me from getting too delusional (I think). There was this cute girl who would show up before the morning bell and glomp me. She also spent a couple of weeks trying to invite me over to her place to watch anime with her on multiple occasions. The problem was that I was still in the "ew, cooties" stage until late in high school. I don't remember what I said to her to get her to stop bugging me, but it was something that brought tears. I still feel like kind of a jerk about it. Actually, come to think of it, most of the nerd-related poo poo I did between middle school and my sophomore year of college is kind of cringeworthy.
